• It does nothing to me unless I drink massive amounts of it.

  My husband is like you, it makes it tired.

• It does nothing for me. I am too addicted. I get a headache if I don't have it though!

• I've never had a sip of coffee in my life, so I can't speak for that. However, if I have a mountain dew it gives me a little energy and wakes me up. As for any other type of soda or whatnot, I don't really feel the effects of it.

• It gives me alot of energy, too much makes me nauseous.   I wish I could get my energy from else where though.

• Well, right now I'm pregnant, so I haven't been drinking any coffee or caffeinated drinks for about two months (and it's been nice!)
  

  Usually, I drink a LOT of coffee...  and it doesn't really do anything to boost my energy.  I found that if I didn't drink it in the morning, I'd start to get a bad headache.

  After this pregnancy, I may have one cup every now and then, but I don't want to start up my coffee habit again.  I feel fine without it!

• None of the above lol. I am narcoleptic, so I am always tired. We've tried caffeine to give me energy, but it has no effect on me. I will say, drinking a red bull does take away my migranes.

• I used to think it gave me energy and "fixed" my headaches.  But I cut caffeine out of my diet a few months ago and it's amazing how much better I feel!  I used to drink a TON of Coke every day--I loved the stuff!  Now, I'm lucky if I have a soda once every 2-3 weeks! 
  
  I found out, after I cut caffeine out, that the caffeine was TRIGGERING my migraines.  I would get a migraine and it would last literally, several DAYS.  I would be in bed, laying around, unable to do ANYTHING b/c my head hurt SO bad.  I haven't had  a migraine since I cut out caffeine!  And, I don't think I went through much withdrawl, so I got lucky! 

  I'm now pregnant and this is the first pregnancy (this is my 6th pregnancy!) that I will not have had a ton of coke and chocolate, etc.  I'm really proud of myself!

• Nothing that I can tell.  If I'm tired and I drink it, I still feel tired.  If I'm alert and I drink it, I'm still alert.  I just like the taste of coffee; I don't drink sodas.  :-)
